===Kalos-based games===
In [[Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]], the Kalos first partner Pokémon can be selected as the {{pkmn2|hero}} and their [[Partner Pokémon (Mystery Dungeon)|partner]]. The trio's evolved forms can also be recruited in the games out of the main character roles.
In [[Pokémon X and Y]], the player, [[Shauna]], and {{ga|Serena}}/{{ga|Calem}} receive their first partner Pokémon in [[Aquacorde Town]] from [[Tierno]], who was asked by [[Professor Sycamore]] to deliver them. The player's friend [[Shauna]] will choose the Pokémon with a type disadvantage to the player's choice, while the player's other friend {{ga|Serena}}/{{ga|Calem}} will choose the one with a type advantage to the player's choice.


Serena/Calem will have one of the Eeveelutions on their team depending on the player's choice, they will have {{p|Jolteon}} if the player chooses Chespin, {{p|Flareon}} for Fennekin, and {{p|Vaporeon}} for Froakie. The choice of first partner Pokémon affects which Pokémon Shauna will [[In-game trade|trade]] with the player after the player enters in the [[Hall of Fame]]. Shauna will trade the unevolved form of her first partner Pokémon, having received it as an {{pkmn|Egg}}. The choice of first partner Pokémon also determines which of the [[Legendary birds]] will [[Roaming Pokémon|roam]] the [[Kalos]] region after defeating the [[Pokémon League]]—if the player chooses Chespin, {{p|Articuno}} will appear, {{p|Zapdos}} will appear to those who chose Fennekin, and {{p|Moltres}} will appear to those that went with Froakie. The middle stages of the first partners can be found in the [[Friend Safari]].

The Kalos first partner Pokémon in Pokémon the Series

The Kalos first partner Pokémon are the trio of Pokémon—Chespin, Fennekin, and Froakie[1]—chosen by Trainers at the start of their journey in Kalos. These are traditionally given out by Professor Sycamore and are to be used to battle the first wild Pokémon that the Trainer encounters.

In official contexts, the group is referred to descriptively in several ways, including "Kalos's first partner Pokémon"[2], "first partner Pokémon of the Kalos region"[1], and more.

In the Kalos-based core series games, the player can choose a Fire-, Water-, or Grass-type first partner Pokémon at level 5.

In this series, the Kalos first partner Pokémon were distributed to Ash, who chose Froakie, Clemont, who was given Chespin and Serena who chose Fennekin.

It was also shown in the Mega Evolution Specials that Chespie the Chespin was Mairin's first partner.

When he went to get the package though, Xerneas and Yveltal were fighting and ended up sending Fennekin's Poké Ball flying, this was eventually found by Team Flare and taken by Malva. After some initial doubts, X chooses to travel with Chespin and Y travels with Froakie.

Trivia

  • Fennekin is also the only unevolved first partner Pokémon to have unique base stat total.
    • It also has the lowest base stat total of any first partner Pokémon.
